Patient's question:
Hello, what are the characteristics of auscultation findings in atrial fibrillation? What are the abnormal sounds? Can ordinary people hear them?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, if the patient is a atrial fibrillation patient, then during cardiac percussion, there will be unequal intensity of the second heart sound at the apex, with extremely irregular rhythm. At the same time, when palpating the pulse, there will be a condition called pulse irregularity (irregular pulse). This can also be heard by ordinary people, but it is still necessary to have a detailed electrocardiogram (ECG) fusion check to further clarify the presence of atrial fibrillation.
